Increasing concerns about exhausting the natural resources and growing global
environmental issues caused by petro-based materials have resulted in the emergence of …

Potato starch/chitosan (PS/CS) films cross-linked with citric acid (CA) at different
concentrations (5%–20%, w/w, on a dry basis of the weight of PS and CS) were developed …

Packaging can mitigate the physical, chemical, and microbiological phenomena that affects
food products' quality and acceptability. However, the use of conventional packaging from …

Starch adhesive, as a sustainable biomass-based adhesive, could be used to solve
environmental problems from petroleum-derived adhesive. But its application is hindered by …

Potatoes are a source of starch, which is an eco-friendly alternative to petrochemicals in
plastic production. Increasing potato production also creates agricultural waste that could be …

In this study, cold plasma activated water (PAW) was used in the preparation of sodium
alginate (SA) solution and the effect of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (RONS), low …

In this study, xylan–alginate-based films were reinforced with nanoclays (bentonite or
halloysite) by the solvent casting technique. The effect of the nanoclay loadings (1–5 wt%) …

In this study, starch-based nanocomposite films (SNF) made with small molecular sugars
(sucrose, fructose and glucose) and glycerol as co-plasticizers were prepared by extrusion …

A critical overview of current approaches to the development of starch-containing packaging,
integrating the principles of green chemistry (GC), green technology (GT) and green …

In this work, a novel cross-linked wheat starch (CLWS)-based ternary nanocomposite films
with incorporation of sodium montmorillonite (Na-MMT)(3%–7% wt.) and titanium dioxide …
